Tarjontaprosessien

Tarjontaprosessien, also known as the Tarjonta process, is a method used in Finland for the allocation of university places. The term "tarjonta" translates to "offer" in English, reflecting the process's focus on making offers to applicants based on their qualifications and preferences. The system is designed to be transparent, fair, and efficient, ensuring that university places are distributed in a way that benefits both the applicants and the institutions.

The Tarjontaprosessien operates through a centralized online platform that handles the entire application and allocation process. Applicants submit their applications, including their academic records and personal statements, through this platform. The system then evaluates these applications based on predefined criteria, such as academic performance, extracurricular activities, and personal essays.

Once the evaluation is complete, the platform generates a list of applicants for each university program, ranked according to their scores. The universities then make offers to the applicants on this list, starting with the highest-ranked candidates. Applicants can accept or reject these offers, and the process continues until all places are filled or the list is exhausted.

The Tarjontaprosessien aims to provide a clear and straightforward pathway for applicants to secure their desired university places. It also helps universities to manage their admissions efficiently, ensuring that they can attract and enroll the best possible candidates. The process is overseen by the Finnish National Agency for Education, which ensures that it adheres to the highest standards of fairness and transparency.
